Outdoor festival procession with a crowd of devotees. In the centre, a figure in an orange turban, orange robe and long gold-beaded necklace, with long dark hair, walks among the procession; the face is not clearly enough visible to confirm the page's claim, and the figure is an uncertain candidate for a person. In the foreground a bearded man in white kurta and orange shawl holds a golden trident, arm outstretched. Behind them, a woman in white and a woman in red bindi watch. Above are lavender-fringed canopies, a red and gold umbrella bearing a golden trident emblem, and a red banner with bird emblems. Palm trees and pale sky are visible.
